Resumen de Gifted Child Quarterly’s commitment to transparency, openness, and research improvement
Jill L. Adelson, Michael S. Matthews
As we continue into our second year as Editors of Gifted Child Quarterly (GCQ), we are very excited to be able to share the changes we have been working to implement for the journal in the types of manuscripts accepted, in keywords for manuscripts and reviewers, and in GCQ’s commitment to open science practices. As Editors, we spent much of our first year making improvements to our procedures, email templates, and timelines, and now with these behind-the-scenes changes mostly completed we are ready to take some big steps that will position GCQ as an education leader in moving our research practices forward. During our planning process, we have consulted with our editorial team, with editors of other special education journals, with experts from other disciplines, with members of two working groups that we formed, and with the SAGE publishing team. We are conscious of the value of our journal’s page space, and as always, we will continue to reserve as much of it as possible for publishing high-quality research; however, to most effectively share these exciting new changes, we have decided to describe briefly both the changes themselves and our rationale for making them here, in the journal’s pages, where these will be most visible to our readership.
